How would I remove SuSE Linux

Where can I find a tutorial to do it

Once you boot from the CD follow the instructions until you get to the part where you see all the partitions on your hard drive.

What exactly do you mean by this? I didn't get it.

You want to get rid of SUSE? format the drive.

Ok, you have XP and SUSE on two separate partitions, right?
So you JUST format the partition that contains SUSE.
BTW, Google is you friend.

Its a dual boot with Xp and Xp is the primary install with SuSE as second in one hardrive

ctkroeker · 07-01-2005, 09:20 PM

OOOOOOOHH, now I get it.

(suspected this)
So, yeah, format the SUSE partition, not the XP one, then uninstall LiLo or GRUB from the masterbootrecord. Thats it.
I XP does not boot after that I welcome you to reinstall it.

, just kidding.
Backup you XP stuff befoe doing anything though.
